Google Unveils Exciting News for Gemini 2.5 Pro Users: Increased Rate Limit for Pro Subscribers

We’ve got some fantastic news for all you Google enthusiasts out there! In a recent announcement, a Google executive revealed that the company is increasing the rate limit of its Gemini 2.5 Pro artificial intelligence (AI) model. This upgrade is specifically designed for paid subscribers, who will now be able to send 100 queries per day, doubling the previous limit of 50 queries.

A New Era for Google AI Pro Subscribers

The news was shared by Josh Woodward, Vice President of Google Labs and Gemini, on X (formerly known as Twitter). Woodward’s post highlighted the increased rate limit for Google AI Pro subscribers, who will now have the ability to send 100 queries or messages per day with the Gemini 2.5 Pro model. This is a significant upgrade, especially considering that the previous rate limit was often seen as a constraint for heavy users of the model.

A First for Google: Revealing Actual Rate Limits

What’s even more exciting is that Google has, for the first time, revealed the actual rate limit for its paid subscribers. In the past, the company has used vague terms such as "limited access," "expanded access," or "highest access" to refer to the rate limits, leaving users wondering what they could expect. The fact that Google is now being more transparent about its rate limits is a welcome change, and we’re sure that users will appreciate the clarity.

A Response to User Feedback?

The rate limit doubling comes just two weeks after Google announced at its I/O event that it would give its paid users increased usage of the Gemini 2.5 Pro model. This move is likely a response to user feedback, as many subscribers had been requesting more flexibility and freedom to use the AI model. According to a 9to5Google report, some heavy users of the model claimed to have hit the exhaustion point earlier this week, which may have prompted Google to take action.

Google I/O: A New Chapter for Gemini

At Google I/O, the company officially rebranded the Gemini Advanced plan into Google AI Pro and Google AI Ultra subscriptions. The AI Pro plan is priced the same as Advanced at Rs. 1,950 per month, while the AI Ultra subscription, which is currently only live in the US, costs $249.99 (roughly Rs. 21,500) per month. This is around 11 times more than the Pro plan, but it offers even more advanced features and capabilities.

What Happens When You Hit the Rate Limit?

So, what happens when a Pro plan user reaches the rate limit? Don’t worry, there are a few options available. You can either wait for a reset, which happens every 24 hours, upgrade to the AI Ultra plan (if it’s available), or switch to Gemini 2.5 Flash. However, keep in mind that Gemini 2.5 Flash is not designed to tackle more complex queries, so you may not get the same level of functionality.

Conclusion: A Win for Google AI Pro Subscribers

In conclusion, the increased rate limit for Google AI Pro subscribers is a significant win for users who have been eagerly awaiting more flexibility and freedom to use the Gemini 2.5 Pro model. We’re excited to see how this upgrade will impact the user experience and can’t wait to hear your thoughts on this development. Are you a Google AI Pro subscriber?
